connector:

projector.
3 Connect the Apple VGA Display Adapter to your iMac G5. Your iMac G5 automatically
detects the external display.

projector, be sure the VGA adapter is plugged into the external display or projector
first.

display or projector.
Connecting a Television, VCR, or Other Video Device
To connect a TV, VCR, or other video device to the iMac G5:

iMac G5.
2 Connect the other end of the adapter to the composite video port or the S-video port
on the TV or VCR.
3 Turn on the external device.
4 To adjust how the images are displayed on the device, use the Displays pane of System
Preferences.
